What Legion Intelligence Inc does

Legion Intelligence Inc is a San Francisco-based, venture-backed company that builds a governed agentic AI platform for U.S. national security customers and large secure enterprises. Founded in 2020 as Yurts and rebranded to Legion Intelligence in April 2025, the company employs 51–100 people and has raised approximately $58.35M across a seed round, a $16M USSOCOM contract (December 2023), and a $40M Series B (December 2024) led by XYZ Venture Capital, Glynn Capital, and Nava Ventures. Its core technology centers on a Command Layer architecture that allows AI workflows to continue in disconnected, degraded, intermittent, and limited (DDIL) conditions by automatically shifting to locally hosted models, combined with ephemeral agents, strong-typed separation of data from instructions, and near-zero CVE container hardening via the RapidFort partnership. The platform is LLM-agnostic and validated at Impact Levels IL2 through IL6, with FedRAMP High authorization achieved in 3 months — enabling deployment across cloud, on-prem, air-gapped, classified, and edge environments including tactical SIPR networks.

Legion's product surface includes the Legion agentic platform, Mission Packs (role-specific AI bundles for command, intelligence, operations, and maintenance), and Centurion (a deployable edge AI system with federated mesh operations, demonstrated supporting up to 350 concurrent users on portable HPE Gen12 DL380 hardware with NVIDIA H200 GPUs). The company generates revenue primarily through subscription-based platform licensing to U.S. defense agencies — USSOCOM, XVIII Airborne Corps, U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force, Department of War, and Department of Energy — with quote-based annual contracts tailored to deployment environment and security level. Distribution combines direct enterprise field sales with channel partnerships through Carahsoft (public-sector reseller), Palantir (flagship GTM for USSOCOM), Oracle Defense Ecosystem, and implementation partner Redhorse. Adjacent go-to-market is being built into Aerospace & Defense MRO, Manufacturing, and broader Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul verticals where on-prem and air-gapped AI requirements overlap with the defense customer base.

Core offering

Legion Intelligence builds a governed agentic AI orchestration platform that connects authoritative data sources, coordinates tool-using AI agents under human authority, and produces auditable outcomes for U.S. defense agencies and large secure enterprises. The platform operates across cloud, on-prem, air-gapped, classified, and tactical edge environments (IL2-IL6), and is delivered through Mission Packs (role-specific software bundles) and Centurion edge AI systems designed for DDIL (disconnected, degraded, intermittent, limited) conditions.

Products and services

• Legion Platform A governed agentic AI orchestration platform that connects authoritative data sources, coordinates tool-using AI agents under human authority, and produces auditable outcomes. Includes agentic search, chat, drafting, and end-to-end workflow automation with 100+ integrations, governed access policies, and LLM-agnostic deployment. Designed for U.S. defense agencies, intelligence organizations, aerospace, manufacturing, and MRO enterprises operating in cloud, on-prem, air-gapped, classified, and edge environments.
• Legion Packs (Mission Packs) Role-specific AI software packs for command, intelligence, operations, and maintenance that package AI agents into operational capabilities for national security customers. Each pack delivers task-specific agents aligned to real staff workflows such as INTSUM drafting and TSA generation for defense and intelligence operators.
• Centurion Edge AI System A deployable edge AI system built for DDIL environments. Features local execution of agents, workflows, tools, and models on edge nodes; federated mesh operations across nodes; and cloud as accelerator rather than dependency. Centurion Large deployed on tactical SIPR (IL6) supports up to 350 concurrent users on portable rack-scale HPE Gen12 DL380 servers with two NVIDIA H200 GPUs. Validated at IL2 through IL6.

Broad incumbents

• Palantir Technologies: Public defense and enterprise AI platform with deep DoD and allied defense footprint. Palantir is both Legion's flagship GTM partner and an adjacent competitor building agentic AI capabilities, making it the most strategically intertwined peer.
• Anduril Industries: Privately held defense technology prime building autonomous systems and AI-enabled command-and-control for the DoD. Overlaps with Legion on AI for intelligence, operations, and edge deployments inside U.S. Special Operations and adjacent commands.
• Shield AI: Defense AI company building autonomous aircraft and intelligence platforms for DoD and allied customers. Comparable in mission-set (intelligence, autonomy, contested operations) and in selling AI to USSOCOM and adjacent defense customers.
• Scale AI: AI data and evaluation platform with a significant defense AI business (Donovan). Competes with Legion in agentic AI for defense workflows and shares a similar go-to-market into classified environments.
• C3.ai: Enterprise AI platform with a defense business and agentic application offerings. Overlaps with Legion on agentic AI orchestration, defense and federal go-to-market, and IL-classified deployment capabilities.

Emerging players

• Helsing: European defense AI company building AI-enabled capabilities for NATO and allied militaries. Comparable as a high-growth private defense AI peer targeting contested-operations and edge use cases across allied defense customers.
• Rebellion Defense: Defense AI startup focused on AI-enabled decision support and analytics for DoD. Overlaps with Legion's intelligence and command-support workflows and shares a similar defense-first enterprise sales motion.

Direct peers

• Primer AI: AI platform for intelligence analysts and defense users, with agentic and entity-extraction capabilities. Closely comparable on intelligence workflow automation (INTSUM-adjacent) and on selling into DoD and intelligence community customers.
• Vannevar Labs: Defense-focused AI/ML company building intelligence analysis tools for DoD and intelligence agencies. Direct comparable on AI for intelligence workflows and on selling classified AI capabilities into the U.S. national security market.

Others

• Carahsoft (with GovAI partners): Public-sector IT aggregator and reseller through which Legion (formerly Yurts) reaches federal, state, and local government. Not a direct competitor but an ecosystem distributor and an indicator of where other agentic AI defense platforms move into public-sector procurement.
